  1. I can't really think of a good one, so how and why did Colossus kill himself?

    To cure the Legacy Virus.

    McCoy learned that to cure the LV a mutant (any mutant) had to inject the serum, and then trigger their powers. Something about that combination would release the cure into the air. Once airborne, everybody on the planet (humans and mutants alike) would breath it in and be rid of the deadly virus. However, the mutant who was injected would die upon use of his/her powers. Having lost his sister to the LV, Colossus wanted to make sure no one else had to suffer the same fate and sacrificed himself.

  2. Gaiden is awesome. It's soo fucking hard though.

    That's what I've heard. G4TV.com ran a feature about this in their latest episode, and the first boss killed one of the hosts in seconds! So they brought in a ringer to demonstrate that the game wasn't that hard (with practice) -- and he nearly died too.

  3. I agree -- once Tim realizes he can't convince the other two Robins to work together, he takes 'em both out. Jason Todd is felled by his own aggressiveness (RE: impulsiveness). And while Dick is no cakewalk, his youth and Tim knowledge of Dick's fighting style does him in as well.

  4. Place: Gotham City

    Conditions: A rift in time has plucked all three Robins from their respective timelines and has placed them in an abandoned factory somewhere in Gotham City. Escape is impossible, as there are no doors or windows. Blasting or cutting through the walls is also impossible, thanks to some magical force.

    It doesn't matter when they are, all that matters is who and how old they are.

    Robin I: Dick Grayson is 15 years old, and is still Batman's jovial sidekick. Little does he know of his future self -- Nightwing. Thinks the other two are evil imposters, and fights to prove it.

    Robin II: The angry, rash Jason Todd is alive and well, and also in his mid-teens. He knows that Dick and Bruce had some sort of falling out and that Dick would later become Nightwing, but this does little to serve him as he's too impulsive to use it to his advantage. Doesn't care who the other two are, he just wants to fight.

    Robin III: Tim Drake (16 years old) has one up on his predecessors, in that he realizes who they are and knows their fighting styles. Unlike Jason Todd (who may or may not know that one of them is Dick Grayson), Tim uses this to his advantage. He fights to 1) protect himself, and 2) stop the scuffle so they can find a solution to their mutual problem.

  5. I don't know if I've seen the uncut version or not. Could someone say what the differences were?

    Taken from the back of my bootleg:

    Bonk is shot.

    The Joker gets shot instead of slipping in water/getting electrocuted off screen.

    The Joker slices Batman's chest, who bleeds.

    Half of the "Our Family Memories" scene is cut from the PG version. (Including a scene where Joker opens a barbeque lid, grabs electrified tongs, and shocks Robin.)

    Bruce says, "Robin killed him." (Not, "Robin defeated him.")

    There's more, but most are small things.

  6. I hope you've seen the uncut version and not the pussified TV version, though, because taking out all the violent parts really numbs it down badly.

    Oh my God! I bought a bootleg copy of this, and it is insane! I hope they release this version on DVD at some point.

    They have.

    No way! :OMG: Totally uncut?!

  7. I thought that the butt fucking was only alluded to? See, when I read that, I just thought 'doggy position', not 'hershey highway'. Or am I just naive?

    It could be just doggy style, but before the series premiered Bendis said in an interview that it was anal. But ultimately it's up to the reader to decide what they perceive it to be.

  8. The Authority (of which Midnighter is a member) once had a cross over with Lobo.

    Lobo turned up in DC vs Marvel, fighting Wolverine.

    Wolverine was AMALGAMated into Dark Claw with......Batman.

    I Thank You.

    Now,

    Lucifer to Superman.

    Long way there, but correct.

    Lucifer to Dream/Sandman

    Dream/Sandman to Clark Kent/Superman (who was in issue #71 of Sandman)
